Sesame Marinaded Salmon with Green Beans
I love dishes that just involve chucking loads of delicious flavours into one dish. It is easy, quick and still impressive when you serve it. Cooking salmon this way keeps it incredibly moist not to mention these Asian flavours beautifully compliment the fish. My mum came up with this green bean recipe. I thought I didn't like green beans until I had them this way. You could say it is a gateway green bean recipe; however, broccoli would make an excellent substitute.
Ingredients
6 salmon fillets
450g of green beans, blanched
4 tbsp of ginger (half for the marinade, half for the beans)
3 tbsp of soy sauce (2 tbsp for the marinade, 1 tbsp for the beans)
2 tbsp of hoisin sauce
2 tbsp of runny honey
1 tbsp of brown sugar
2 tbsp of sesame oil
3 garlic cloves (1 for the marinade, 2 for the beans)
1 tbsp of sesame oil
4 tsp of chilli flakes (half for the marinade, half for the beans)
Rice and broccoli to serve
Cooking Time!
- Preheat the oven to 200C.
- For the marinade, combine the the sesame seeds, sesame oil, chilli flakes, garlic clove, honey, hoisin and soy sauce.
- Put the salmon in an oven proof dish and then evenly spread the marinade on top.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes or until beginning to flake.
- Heat 1 tbsp of sesame oil in a pan. Add the garlic, chilli flakes, soy and ginger until the garlic has started to soften.
- Add the beans and heat them through. They should retain a nice bite.
- Serve the salmon and beans with rice and broccoli.
Serves 6. Approximate cooking and prep time 30 minutes.
